Although we may be close to many people, it is highly unlikely we know their full addresses. Perhaps it's a colleague, or a person you met on Tinder. This app allows users to send flowers and presents to others without knowing their home address. The way it works is that after you purchase a present, it generates a link allowing the recipient to enter their own address. There are no additional fees. Furthermore, gifts can be accompanied by a multimedia greeting to give a warmer and more personal feel to it. Your giftee will never know the price of your gift, nor will you have to pay for it unless he or she chooses not to redeem the gift.
- Send presents without a home address
- Flowers and presents
- No hidden fees
- Multimedia greetings
- Price hidden from recipient
